Tunisia The impact of the Gaza crisis on human capital – Update 2025
This document provides an updated overview, as of June 2025, of the impact of the war in Gaza on education, training, employment, and the livelihoods of its residents. It builds upon the initial brief of the European Training Foundation released in November 2024, which synthesised the latest data from diverse sources including UN agencies, international organisations, and NGOs.
This update documents the scale of internal displacement, damage to education infrastructure, disruption of schooling, and the consequences for Gaza’s labour market and economic stability. In addition to offering a snapshot of the current situation, the report outlines potential implications for long-term human capital development, the prospects for economic and educational recovery, and the essential steps towards reconstruction.
